CASUALTIES.

ERIE, Pa, Nov. 30.-James Mclaughlin
and Robert PRYOR, fishermen, were drowned
about half mile off shore of Presque
Isle today. They started out early this
morning and pulled their nets, making
such large haul that the boat was laden
nearly to the waters edge. The wind ris-
ing caused the boat to pitch heavily. and
every lunge caused her to ship large guam
titles of water When half a mile out an
unusually heavy foe drove large block of
ice into the boat and she slid unuer, dlsap-
pearing from view. The men were soon
overcome by cold.
BUTTE, Mont. Nov. 30-There was a
triple train collision this morning between
Butte and Silver Bend. An Anaconda ore

Helena passenger train was coming a short
distance behind but managed to stop be
fore running into the ore train. Another
train. heavy freight, was also on the road
from Butte depot. \ man went back TO
flag, but it had approached so near it was
impossible To stop on the icy rails. Con
du0tor West rusded into the passenger car
and shouted to those on board TO Jump,
which they did. The freight locomotive
crushed half way through a passenger
coach, raising il on top of the locomotive.
While trying to straighten out matters an
other train came along and wrecked the
caboose of the first freight train. Several
train men were slightly injured.

AN OIL TANK EXPLOSION.

FLINT MICH, Nov. 30.-A sheet of flame
shot 200 feet into the air from a tank car
that stood on side track at the Thread
Touring mills last night. For fully five
minutes the great torch blazed up like a
pillar of fire, lighting the country for
miles around. An explosion that shook
the earth accompanied the illumination,
and an empty space showed where the car
had stood. Fred Durham, ID years DID, and
Dell Slower, about the same age, We're
the only persons badly injured. just be
fore the explosion the two boys, who are
Thread Touring mill employees, were seen
making their way along the top Of the
cars. They were looking for the oil car,
and when they came to the rolling tank
they stopped and peered down into the
reservoir 1t was too dark for them to see
in, and Durham fished a piece of string
out Of his pocket and fastened it to the
handle of the lantern. Then he lowered
the lantern into the tank.
The light had barely disappeared from
sight when the explosion occurred. Dun
ham was blown Il good ways upward and
landed on the roof Of a shed. rolling from
there to the ground, where he was found
unconscious Slower was standing on the
car when the explosion occurred, and he
was blown through one of the mill win
dows. The tank flew in all directions, one
piece weighing nearly half a ton being
blown through the side Of the
mill. One end of the tank
was blown through the end of
the freight car standing next to it on the
track. The blazing oil ran down on both
sides of the track and made veritable
river of fire. The fire department kept the
flames from spreading to the neighbOring
property. a curious feature of the eXplo-
sion WAS the direction one of the nieceS of
flying iron took. a short distance from
the track was high board fence and back
OF ii a maple tree. This tree was cut off
smoothly above the ground and the fence
was uniniured. The piece of iron that did
it must have described a curve.

IRELAND.

WELL ANSWERED.

The mud-slingers of the Louisiana
press continue pelting away at Gov
ernor McEnery.-Pointe Coupee Ban
ner.
Who are the mud singers of the
Louisiana press - We exchange with
quite number of papers published in
this State, large majority of which
express sentiments OF disapproval of
both the personnel and methods of the
State Administration, as at present
constituted, yet, instances of anything
bordering on offensive or incorporate
comment thereon, as far as we know,
are exceedingly and remarkable rare.
The three or four of our contempt
raries who worship with such ardent
devotion at the shrine Of the powers
that be, y are continually harping on
the "mud Singing" business, but fail
utterly to show that there is any ade-
uuate foundation for such a serious
charge against the fair minded, though
frank and outspoken spirit of journal
ism that prevails in Louisiana.-Patri-
OF Democrat.

ried women should be protected by
that virtue which they are all presumed
to possess; if the virtue is not there,
fear of the husband will not prevent
some men from being lured by the
woman-the history of the age proves
this. There may be many Potiphar's
wives, but there are few Josephs.
This kind of killing, like duelling, is
caused by a false sentiment, inherited
from a more bar6arous age, which will
be gradually eliminated from our civili-
cation as it progresses to a more per-
feet state.

Ell MONTE, November Goth, 1887.
To THE PUBLIC Unknown to the
majority of people living in this vicin-
ity, interested parties in other places
having lots for sale have made sheer
ing and untruthful remarks regarding
the healthfulness of this locality. 1
can safely say that having lived here
for a number of years, there is no
truth in such statements. The people
here are robust, strong and can all of
them do their share of labor in any
caracity. This of course, all he old
residents of this county know too well
for any fu,ther remarks to be made,
but to all newcomers who desire to
live in the place where the
grass is green the year around, with
out irrigation, l would gladly say to
you investigate for yourselves; 90 for
instance to the practicing physicians
in some of these paper towns and find
how busy they are. Just ask them
them the number of cases OF fevers
they are after ding to, and then come
here and Judge for yourselves. A
word to the wise is sufficient.
